Eureka Church of Christ serves the welcoming community of Olney, Illinois, a charming small city nestled in the heart of Richland County in southeastern Illinois. Located approximately 120 miles east of St. Louis, Olney offers visitors and residents a quintessential Midwest experience with its tree-lined streets, historic downtown district, and strong sense of community pride.
Known as the “Home of the White Squirrels,” Olney maintains a unique distinction as one of the few places in North America where these rare albino squirrels thrive under city protection. The community of roughly 9,000 residents enjoys a slower pace of life while remaining connected to larger metropolitan areas, with Evansville, Indiana just 60 miles southeast.

The city features well-maintained parks, quality schools, and a variety of local businesses that contribute to its small-town charm. Visitors will find friendly neighbors, affordable living costs, and easy access to outdoor recreation opportunities.
Churches of Christ have a meaningful presence throughout southern Illinois, serving communities that value traditional worship and biblical teaching. The region’s congregations often reflect the area’s emphasis on family values and community connection.
